Authoritarians gotta stick together:
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday defended Donald Trump over accusations the US leader pressured Kiev to dig up dirt on a rival, saying there was "nothing compromising" in transcripts of the call.
"I see nothing compromising in the conversation between Trump and (Ukrainian leader Volodymyr) Zelensky," Putin said of the phone call that has sparked an impeachment probe in the US.
"President Trump turned to a colleague with a request to investigate possible corruption relating to members of the former administration," the Russian leader said at an energy forum in Moscow.
"Any head of state would have had to do the same."Yes, any corrupt, political- enemy- and- journalist- murdering former KGB thug would have had to do the same, and much more!
Note to Trump: Now that Daddy Vladdy has changed his mind and says he's okay with releasing the transcripts of your conversations with him, you should follow his lead, as usual, and release them! You have nothing to hide, right?!
